40 Floricultural and Botanical Notices, 



Staunton's, Leigh Park, near Havant, under the good manage- 

 ment of Mr. Robert S. Wilson, the gardener. The plant had 

 been in the collection upwards of fifteen years without blossom- 

 ing. It produced shoots, upwards of 7 ft. long, between March 

 and September, in 1834-. Two flowers were perfected: the one 

 which opened first, opened at about six o'clock in the afternoon 

 of September 22,, and faded at about eleven o'clock in the mor- 

 ning of September 23. The flower of C. triangularis is stated to 

 exceed in size that of any other species, even C. grandiflorus. 

 The sepals are green, the petals " of the most dazzling white- 

 ness ;" the anthers, yellow, are represented densely disposed into 

 a broad ring ; the style is shown from within this ring, prominent 

 above it, very stout, and ended in many stigmas that are disposed 

 in a cone rather than spread ; both the part of the style and the 

 lays are yellow. [Bot. Beg., Nov.)

*' The stems are upright, rising to. the height of 4 or 5 ft." 

 The inflorescence is i)aniculate, the flowers are numerous, the 

 limb of the corolla is large and of a bright scarlet. The plant 

 thrives " best in a soil <;omposed of peat and loam, and is chiefly 

 propagated by cuttings, as it is found rarely, if ever, to perfect its 

 seeds in this country." The figure is from a specimen "from 

 the choice collection of David Falconar, Esq., of Carlowrie."

It may be that this is not rare in gardens : it is eligible for all 

 the hardy flower-gardens that are yet without it. Its shoots and 

 leaves are disposed into a tuft ; and this is verdant throughout the 

 year. The flowers are disposed in the mode of a crowded pa-
